Follow-up

CoARA Working Group

ANECA's CoARA Working Group is formed by the Agency's Management, the Commission for the Evaluation and Monitoring of State Accreditation and the heads of the units involved in the reform. This group leads the implementation, monitoring and annual update of the CoARA Action Plan.

 

  • ANECA Management
  • Evaluation and Monitoring Committee of ANECA's state accreditation
  • Heads of ANECA's units with competences in the evaluation of programs in which the reform will have an impact
  • ANECA Management
  • ANECA Communication
  • Internationalization and ANECA Studies

This work is supported by the persons responsible for each line of action, who report every six months on their progress. Invited external experts may also participate and subgroups may be formed to address specific lines of the plan. 

ANECA has established a CoARA Technical Secretariat in charge of coordinating, supporting and monitoring the group's tasks.  


Monitoring, evaluation and updating of the Action Plan

The monitoring of ANECA's CoARA Action Plan is organized through biannual meetings and annual reports, coordinated by the CoARA Working Group with the support of the Technical Secretariat.

  • Every six months, the persons responsible for each line of action present the progress made and propose new actions for the following period. These meetings make it possible to adjust the plan and ensure compliance with commitments.

  • Each year a detailed report is prepared with the actions implemented and their degree of progress. This report includes proposals for revision for the following annual cycle.

    In addition, in accordance with CoARA's commitment, a global evaluation report of the Action Plan will be presented in 2028, which will assess the results achieved and will serve as a basis for defining the plan for the following period.

  • ANECA has developed a simple and flexible methodology to closely monitor the implementation of the CoARA Action Plan during its four-year duration. This monitoring is based on four key elements:

    • Internal data: semi-annual reports are collected and organized with information from each work line. 
    • Practical tools: documents are reviewed, data are analyzed and results are validated with the CoARA Working Group. 
    • Criteria: progress of actions, efficient use of resources, adaptability, collaboration, transparency and sustainability are evaluated. 

    Analysis and continuous improvement: progress is reviewed annually and the plan is adjusted if necessary. 
    In addition, a traffic light system is used to visually show the status of each line of action and easily detect areas that require more attention.
